Every company, and every person, transporting for hire animals to or in the Virgin Islands shall thoroughly clean and disinfect, in such manner as the Commissioner of Agriculture may, from time to time, direct all vessels, boats, pens, carriages, trucks, horse-boxes or other vehicles used by such company or persons for the carrying of animals, and the Commissioner may cause any such vehicle to be detained at such place as to him seems proper until it is so cleaned and disinfected.
If the company or person using such vessel, boat, carriage, truck, horse-boxes, or other vehicle for the carrying of animals fails to cause the same to be cleaned and disinfected, after being notified so to do, within such time as the Commissioner directs, the Commissioner may cause the same to be cleaned and disinfected at the expense of such company or person, and such expense or cost may be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
